Patent Refused.

In 1886 Mr.. Brown, of tie Grainfield
Bank, was the successful bidder for a
piece of school land in Logan county,
which had been advertised for sale. The
sale did not take place until after the
special session of the legislature of that
year passed the act withdrawing from
sale school lands until after county had
been organized three years. James Kelly,
then county treasurer, refused to issue a
receipt in the case Of this purchase.
Later Judge Osborn, in chambers, in
structed that the receipt be issued. On
the issuing of the papers, application was
made to the state auditor for patent for
the land. Last week, County Clerk Hoar
received word from that officer that
the patent will not be issued. The state
has accepted the first payment of ten per
cent. on the purchase price of the land,
and also an installment of interest on the
balance of the principal.

Observing Halloween

We heard it suggested Tuesday morn
ing that the boisterous doings of the
night before constituted the inauguration
ofJo. Marks as city marshal. Be that az
it may, Halloween came with the last
night in October, and the hoodlums got
in their work in variety of shapes which
all may not agree in pronouncing fantas-
tic. A privy was showed over, a street
lamp taken from its place and stuck upon a
hitching post, a spittoon placed over the
top of hue, and so on. The ordinance
prohibiting shooting was violated to the
extent of large number of shots. Wheth-
er the rsiding hoodlums did the shooting
or were shot at by the enraged denizens
whose property was being attacked, has
not been reported to this office.

old soldier and splendid man. He was
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for state auditor last year. In the
matter of running fer secretary OF state
he has let Charley Norton, of Beloit, get
the bulge. The interests of the Republi-
can party in the Northwest demand that
only one of these men run for secretary of

always does-solid and to win with one

New PRESBYTERIAN Church.

A meeting of the Presbyterian congre.
CATION was held in the old Presbyterian
church, Tuesday evening, to decide on the
location for the new church building
Rev. Mr.. Brown was elected chairman
and E. F. Porter, secretary. The meeting
was well attended, there being nearly
thirty persons with a vote each on the
question under consideration.
After some discussion by Captain
Hanna, A. II. Blair, James Kelly and
others, vote was taken on the motion to
build on the site of the present church.
The motion was lost by vote of 9 fol
to IS against. It was then determined to
vest in the board of church trustees the
authority to purchase for the new site
three or four lots on the northwest cor.
ner of block 49, This will place the new
Presbyterian church building just across
the street to the south from the building
which the Baptists are erecting for place
of worship.
The best of feeling prevailed at the
meeting, and concentration of effort will
characterize the work of building hand
somely and economically the new Presby.
terrain church in Wa-Keeney.

Some one, years ago, published the
supposed fact that nut-bearing trees gen
orally did not transplant well, I. e., were
not sure to live when transplanted, and
most writer's on nut lore since have repeat
ed il. This doctrine is contrary tony ex-
perience.
During the past twenty-four years [
have transplanted tens of thousands Of
black and white walnut, chestnut and pc
can trees, at the ages Of one, two and
three years, with as little loss as I met in
transpianting any other hard-wooded
trees.
A year ago last spring / transplanted
10000 one and two-year black walnuts
The planting was done late and quite
carelessly, and the summer following
quite dry, and nearly every tree grew.
This last spring transplanted 5000 two
year-olds, also late and with as little labor
as possible, very thickly in rows Now,
after one of the driest seasons ever known,
nearly all are alive. Ny experience with
the chestnut and other trees named has
been about the same. Last spring sent
with other nursery stock 400 one-year and
400 two-year black walnut to northwest
ern Iowa, where they have had scarcely
er reports July as follows: 'Everything
you sent me has died on account OF the
fearful drouth, except the 800 black wal
nuts, OF which nearly every one is alive
and growing nicely"
The native walnuts seem to transplant
fully as safely as any other hardwooded
tree. have known of several instances
OF trees twelve to fourteen feet high being
transplanted without loss. But such
large trees Of the American sweet chest
nut and pecan do not transplant safely.
The need OF an unmutilated taprooG is
another point which writer's are pleased to
keep harping on. They declare SIT is
lest to plant the nuts where we wish the
trees to grow, as they have deep running
taproots, which, il cut in transplanting,
can not be renewed and will cause the
tree to languish and perhaps de- This
Is simple nonsense, and my experience
goes to show that the taproot is not neces-
sary for the perfect health and well-being
of the tree.
The above is from the pen of D.
B. Weir, of Marshall county, Ill.
The subject is timely for WORLD
readers. We wish to add two
thoughts to Mr.. Weir's. As rule,
all trees are benefited by being trans
planted, not only once, but two or
three times. An authority on For
estry says the fact Of tap-root trees
not being injured by transplanting
is accounted for on the ground that
taproots are short-lived in trees
which are not transplanted, rotting
generally when the tree is not more
than three or four years old.
With all who have given the sub
iect any intelligent thought, it is
thoroughly known that transplant
ing of any class Of trees on the
plains is accompanied with risks
Only by intelligent preparation of
the ground, and then by thorough
care Of the trees, can the success of
transplanting trees out here be con-
s;dered other than in the light Of
time and money seuandered. Make
rigid the test for all transplanting,
and then nut-bearing trees need not
be excluded.
